Work Analysis in the Knowledge Economy “Jacobs’ book on work analysis in the age of knowledge economy fills an important gap in the HRD literature. Whether you are an HRD professional or an academic, this ready-reference book provides a comprehensive look at the many facets of work analysis designed for a workplace in which knowledge work will be most critical at the human-machine intersection.” —Mesut Akdere, Professor, Human Resource Development, School of Technology, Leadership and Innovation, Purdue University, USA “A highly readable, research grounded, and relevant approach to work analysis by one of the most respected thinkers and researchers on the subject. This foundational core competency for the development of human resources and organizations is becoming ever-more essential in the global knowledge economy. A clear, concise, and thought- provoking must-read book for current students that will influence and be widely applicable to your future career.” —Kenneth Bartlett, Professor, Human Resource Development and Associate Dean, University of Minnesota, USA “Organizing HRD processes relies heavily on the content of the work. Yet our knowledge of work analysis in relation to employee learning sadly remains scarce. In writing this book, Ron Jacobs has done an outstanding job in addressing this crucial gap in the literature, from which HRD scholars, practitioners and students alike will benefit tremendously.” —Rob Poell, Professor, Human Resource Development, Tilburg University, Netherlands
